    ENGLISH FIRST ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE Literature Summary Grade 11 TERM 4 A message from the NECT National Education Collaboration Trust (NECT) DEAR TEACHERS This learning programme and training is provided by the National Education Collaboration Trust (NECT) on behalf of the Department of Basic Education (DBE)! We hope that this programme provides you with additional skills, methodologies and content knowledge that you can use to teach your learners more effectively. WHAT IS NECT? In 2012 our government launched the National Development Plan (NDP) as a way to eliminate poverty and reduce inequality by the year 2030. Improving education is an important goal in the NDP which states that 90% of learners will pass Maths, Science and languages with at least 50% by 2030. This is a very ambitious goal for the DBE to achieve on its own, so the NECT was established in 2015 to assist in improving education and to help the DBE reach the NDP goals. The NECT has successfully brought together groups of relevant people so that we can work collaboratively to improve education. These groups include the teacher unions, businesses, religious groups, trusts, foundations and NGOs. WHAT ARE THE LEARNING PROGRAMMES? One of the programmes that the NECT implements on behalf of the DBE is the ‘District Development Programme’. This programme works directly with district officials, principals, teachers, parents and learners; you are all part of this programme! The programme began in 2015 with a small group of schools called the Fresh Start Schools (FSS). Curriculum learning programmes were developed for Maths, Science and Language teachers in FSS who received training and support on their implementation.

  • Another Record- Setting Obs April Sale Concludes
    SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 2019 $68,541,500 for 698 horses sold. The average, which was ANOTHER RECORD- $98,197 a year ago, rose 10.9% to a new sales best of $108,903 and the median rose 7% to $60,000. The four-day buy-back rate SETTING OBS APRIL was 19.7%. It was 18.1% a year ago. AAt the end of the day, it=s all about the horses,@ said OBS SALE CONCLUDES President Tom Ventura. AThe consignors have complete confidence in this sale and they bring top quality. It=s borne itself out, not only in the ring, but also on the racetrack. Which is more important than what they bring in the ring, in my opinion. They have to perform and that keeps the buyers coming back and gets new buyers interested.@ The auction=s top 10-priced lots were all purchased by separate buying interests and reflected the sale=s deep buying bench, according to Ventura. AI think the buying bench was very deep and, for the most part, the competition for the top horses wasn=t just two buyers, it was multiple buyers that got in on some of these top horses. And the people that brought the very top horses were spread around. Down below the very top was strong as well.@ The international buying bench continued to be a major $1.3-million son of Into Mischief | Photos by Z presence at the April sale, with Narvick International and Korea=s K.O.I.D.
